| 20120115723 | Ballast Water Treatment System - A composition for treating waters, e.g. ballast water or injection water for oil recovery, to kill in-situ aquatic invasive species comprises at least one biocide capable of killing both animal and plant micro-organisms. The at least one biocide preferably comprises Brilliant Green, Gentian Violet, and/or erythrosine, and a wetting agent or detergent-like compound such as CTAB or CTAC. The invention also relates to a system for treating ballast water in situ comprising means for injecting a composition for treating ballast water; means for measuring the flow rate or amount of ballast water to be treated; means for controlling the dosing of the composition; and means for storing or receiving the composition. The invention also relates to a method of detecting viable aquatic organisms in ballast water in situ comprising detecting metabolism in viable micro-organisms in ballast water and, therefore, measuring the efficacy of any treatment. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120059148 | NON-NATURALLY OCCURRING LIPOPROTEIN PARTICLE - Non-naturally occurring lipoprotein particles, process for preparing such particles and uses thereof. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20120058471 | IDENTIFICATION OF NUCLEIC ACID SEQUENCES - The invention provides a method for use in the detection of a target nucleic acid comprising the steps of: (i) contacting a single-stranded probe nucleic acid with a sample of interest under conditions effective to generate a probe/target nucleic acid duplex by specific hybridisation of said probe nucleic acid to a target nucleic acid, if said target nucleic acid is present; (ii) contacting any probe/target nucleic acid duplex with an exonuclease to effect digestion of the duplex and release of a label molecule from the duplex; and (iii) detecting the label by Raman spectroscopy. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20110297615 | FLUID PROCESSING DEVICE - The present invention relates to a system, apparatus, and method for separating components of a fluid, e.g. blood, which eliminates the need for expensive hardware and produces a stabilised waste product. The system comprises an apparatus or device (V) for separating components of a fluid (15′) comprising a container (5′) having at least one separation or filtration member (10′) capable of selectively separating or filtering at least one component from the fluid, and a superabsorbent material (20′) capable of absorbing the at least one component separated from the fluid, and thereby providing a processed fluid free or substantially free of said at least one component; and agitation means. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110245324 | ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOUNDS - The present invention relates to compounds that modulate the shikimate pathway and/or a pathway branching from the shikimate pathway in members of the Amoebida Order. In particular these compounds may be useful in the treatment or prevention of diseases caused or contributed to by members of the Amoebida Order. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20100262309 | ACTIVE NETWORK MANAGEMENT - A method for defining one or more ANM zones in an electricity network that has at least one energy producing/consuming device that has an output that has to be regulated. The method comprises determining the maximum power and/or current transmittable to or from a node or branch in the network at which an energy producing/consuming device that has to be regulated is to be added; determining the maximum capacity of power and/or current transmittable through that node or branch; and defining a zone (zone | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100143438 | BIOMOLECULES - A substrate is provided having a biomolecule immobilised thereon, wherein the biomolecule is connected via an enzyme-cleavable link to a blocking moiety such that cleavage of the link causes removal of the blocking moiety and activation of the biomolecule. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100016311 | NOVEL MINOR GROOVE BINDERS - There is provided compounds of formula (I), wherein R | 01-21-2010 |
